Norval Morrisseau Quotes:

-"My art speaks and will continue to speak, transcending barriers of nationality, language and other forces that may be divisive, fortifying the greatness of the spirit that has always been the foundation of the Ojibwa people."

Others about Norval Morrisseau:

Norval, with his incredible ability with the formal problems of art (colour-design-space) and his commitment to the world of his people, the great Ojibway, give one the sense of power that only genius provides... It is sufficient to say that in the history of Canadian Painting, few have, and will remain giants. Norval shall."

>>> The above 30 images of original Norval Morrisseau artworks appeared on the NORVAL MORRISSEAU BLOG (see 'Blog Archive') prior Ritchie Sinclair a.k.a. Stardreamer e-mailed to the Blog Master the following statement on December 23, 2007:

-

"Hello Spirit Walker I have watched your blog grow and glow! It's a classy piece of work. As you may know, Norval expects Brian and I to launch the "exoteric" Copper Thunderbird School of Shamanistic Arts now. One of the great new manifestations of "organic art" is Mastership of Internet thoughtways. Impeccable adornment of a tool converts it into a Talisman, whether a pouch or a website. Good work! We hope to launch the Thunderbird School both with a community website and a meeting centre in Toronto by the next full moon. Your website is my favourite Morrisseau website for many reasons. I will be putting up our site at shamanisticarts.com. It will be modeled along similar lines to my experimental sports community/matchup site recently built at sportspirit.com. I have envisioned a possibility where you and I could harmonize forces to facilitate the 'Morrisseau' movement as a whole, and in a general sense. We both appear to share a healthy respect for Spirit and for The People's voice. For now, I just wanted to touch base with you.

NOTE: Blog Master of the NORVAL MORRISSEAU BLOG has also purchased one of the paintings from the collection of the same eBay member (id: tootired). Click HERE to see the painting purchased in May 2001 (item #: 1430330848) and click HERE for the record of the 03-JUN-2001 feedback by Blog Master (id: spirit_walker2008) who purchased the painting in question. Bryant Ross who is director of Coghlan Art Studio & Gallery in Aldergrove, BC suggested to me that I contact Mr. Joseph McLeod of Maslak McLeod Gallery in Toronto, Ontario to have this and seven other paintings, authenticated or appraised because Norval Morrisseau was busy and that he could not accommodate my request when I contacted him in 2001 (click HERE for more information about communication between Bryant Ross and Blog Master).

IMPORTANT NOTE:Ritchie 'Stardreamer' Sinclair has deactivated 'Search' page for his website www.stardreamers.com shortly after this posting took place (16-FEB-2009). The capture of my finding(s) which can still be seen by clicking on the image presented in this posting proves one thing only. That Mr. Sinclair is well aware of his 'hypocritical and lying past activities' which have come to the fore in real time 'cought red-handed' as it were in trying to cover up his scheme of 'Norval Morrisseau Art Market Devaluation Attack' but was unsuccessful at deleting critical and damning evidence supporting his slanderous activities.-ADDITIONAL NOTES: Seven hours after this posting took place Ritchie 'Stardreamer' Sinclair has cleaned up the database for his website www.stardreamers.com and traces of my finding(s) cannot be found anymore. Click HERE & HERE to see the difference 'before' and 'after' database clean up of the www.stardreamers.com by it's author. If you pay attention to details you will notice that 'Search' page found only one item for the word "masterpieces" for 'after database clean up' - dated February 16th, 2009 - the same day this posting was published which proves that database clean up has occured as stated. -Also, Ritchie 'Stardreamer' Sinclair after cleaning up the database of his website www.stardreamers.com linked 'Search' database with www.morrisseau.com, www.woodlandgold.com & www.sevenfires.com and all you find by 'searching' www.stardreamers.com will lead you to www.morrisseau.com or other website(s) that he is maintaining and every search item will have the same date in 'Search' database - February 16th, 2009.

Click HERE (see page 4) to view .pdf file of the Norval Morrisseau's sworn declaration where he stated "Thunderbird with Hatchlings" (1976) to be a fake and/or an imitation. The painting in question was exhibited at Gallery Sunami of North York, Ontario.--This and other Norval Morrisseau's sworn affidavits is just a manipulation of Gabor (Gabe) Vadas by which he tried unsuccessfully to take control over the Norval Morrisseau's secondary art market by discrediting large body of work done by Norval Morrisseau (Click HERE).

Screen capture from www.morrisseau.com(19-MAR-2009) of the same painting titled "Shaman" (Click HERE) when he called it this time an "Authentic Norval Morrisseau"(NOTICE FOR THE "COURT FILE No. CV-08-00366828" HAS BEEN OMITTED FOR THE PRESENTATION OF THIS POSTING!)/Click on image to Enlarge/-Note:Ritchie 'Stardreamer' Sinclair as clearly presented herein claimed that painting presented on the Maslak McLeod Gallery's website was 'Forged Morrisseau' just at a later date claiming it to be an 'Authentic Norval Morrisseau'!?-

->>> Notice that in the first screen capture a member who posted the image was "blackmagic" - Ritchie 'Stardreamer' Sinclair and in the second screen capture a member was "Norval" - Norval Morrisseau who passed away on December 4th, 2007!?This one and many other members' names presented on www.morrisseau.com are examples of stolen identities that Ritchie 'Stardreamer' Sinclair is using disrespectfully & without permission and at the same time he is claiming to be a Norval Morrisseau protege who honours him and his legacy!?-

Calling an authentic Norval Morrisseau's print as an "Inferior Print", 24 days later calling it an "Authentic Norval Morrisseau" and presenting them both for more than five months on www.morrisseau.com until they were deleted by its webmaster:

--BLOG MASTER'S COMMENTS:A while ago John MacGregor Newman, associate director of Kinsman Robinson Galleries* (KRG) interviewed Ritchie "Stardreamer" Sinclair and three excerpts from that interview had been presented at genuinemorrisseau.blogspot.com and since then they have been deleted by the KRG blog editors (blog deleted on June 26, 2009 & reinstated on August 06, 2009 but this time open to invited readers only and NOW it is active with all content deleted, directing readers to their twitter address at http://twitter.com/KinsmanRobinson).
-The interview excerpts were posted as follows:-- 'In conversation with Ritchie Sinclair' on 09/06/2008 (click HERE for screen capture of the posting and all pertaining comments), - 'Questionable works' on 10/14/2008 (click HERE for screen capture of the posting and all pertaining comments) &

- 'Apprenticeship v. fraud (revisited)' on 10/28/2008 (click HERE for screen capture of the posting and all pertaining comments).

-

Note: These interview excerpts could still be viewed in 'Video Gallery' of Ritchie 'Stardreamer' Sinclair's website at www.morrisseau.com.

I was quite surprised when I saw the posting "Memorable moments with Norval" (04/04/2009) from the KRG blog where it was shown that in September 1997, Norval Morrisseau made a trip to the Kinsman Robinson Galleries to attend the book launch for "Norval Morrisseau: Travels to the House of Invention" (1997) where he met, together with Gabor (Gabe) Vadas, Ritchie "Stardreamer" Sinclair and even had a supper with Donald Robinson's family. (click HERE to view unedited version of the "Memorable moments with Norval"and corresponding comments including the comment of Ritchie "Stardreamer" Sinclair" which has also been deleted by the KRG blog editors).

It is clear as presented herein that Ritchie 'Stardreamer' Sinclair is labelling proven authentic Norval Morrisseau paintings as "Inferior Counterfeit Morrisseaus" and it shows one more time that his opinion cannot be trusted.-If Mr. Ritchie 'Stardreamer' Sinclair truly believes that the above posted paintings are "Inferior Counterfeit Morrisseaus" I am inviting him to express his opinions via the platform of the NORVAL MORRISSEAU BLOG and explanations of his opinions will be posted uncensored (HE HAS NEVER RESPONDED TO THIS INVITATION TO DATE).

NOTE:One of these prints is in Blog Master's collection and it will be used as evidence in a court of law if necessary.----------------Screen capture from www.morrisseau.com (10-APR-2009) of the same serigraph by Richard Bedwash (Click HERE) when Ritchie 'Stardreamer' Sinclair called it an "Authentic Norval Morrisseau"(NOTICE FOR THE "COURT FILE No. CV-08-00366828" HAS BEEN OMITTED FOR THE PRESENTATIONOF THIS POSTING!) /Click on image to Enlarge/-
-NOTE: The same serigraph by Richard Bedwash was posted on the blog http://honouringnorvalmorrisseau.blogspot.com/ which was suspended in October 2008 (Click HERE ) or you could still find it on Ritchie 'Stardreamer' Sinclair's website at link below: http://www.morrisseau.com/media/images/sharingImages/1453.jpg.-
-BLOG MASTER'S COMMENTS: It is clear as presented herein that Ritchie 'Stardreamer' Sinclair is labelling the proven authentic art piece of Richard Bedwash as an "Authentic Norval Morrisseau". -This shows again that his opinion cannot be trusted. It also proves his website www.morrisseau.com to be a disservice to Norval Morrisseau, his legacy and the people of Canada.-The following is the screen capture from www.morrisseau.com on 11-APR-2009 of the same page where the serigraph by Richard Bedwash was presented (Click HERE) when Ritchie 'Stardreamer' Sinclair called it an "Authentic Norval Morrisseau".---------------------

^^^ Click on image to view screen capture of the original web page from Coghlan Art Studio & Gallery as it appeared in May 2005 - pay attention to the pieces titled 'Water Spirits' and 'Upper and Lower Worlds', Both paintings were done in the painting style Norval Morrisseau used predominantly in the dacade of 1970's. ^^^

-BLOG MASTER'S FINAL STATEMENT: The multiple screen captures of my findings have proven that Mr. Sinclair is well aware of his 'hypocritical and lying past activities'. My screen captures of before and after events clearly catches Mr. Ritchie R. Sinclair 'red-handed' and attempting to cover up his sinister scheme of 'slandering the title and authenticities of hundreds of works of art by the late great Norval Morrisseau - Canadian Woodland artist' on his www.morrisseau.com website and elsewhere. Luckily he was unsuccessful at deleting critical and damning evidence supporting his slanderous activities or else this type of court submissable evidence would have gone unknown to a now educated public.

-

* - Ritchie 'Stardreamer' Sinclair at www.morrisseau.com is using three member names: "blackmagic", "whitemagic" and "Norval" for Norval Morrisseau who passed away on December 4th, 2007!? This one and many other members' names: Avalon, Blair, Potter, Maslak, Lamont, Bruce, Jack (for Jack Pollock who passed away in 1992) & Ugo are examples of stolen identities Ritchie 'Stardreamer' Sinclair is/was using disrespectfully & without permission on his website and at the same time he is claiming to be a protégé of Norval Morrisseau who honours him and his legacy!?
